絵本為朝一代記
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Ikeda Tōen and published by him in 1887, telling the life story of the warrior Tametomo in woodblock-printed pages with kana and kanji text. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock prints of samurai in armour, a fight on a riverbank, a woman on a rough sea, and an archer drawing a bow, with text columns set around the figures; a designer might take their bold outline work, dense patterned textiles, and the way text and image share one page.
